Today we will be unboxing and reviewing the brand new Lumintop GT Mini, this is a wicked little light that is small and throws far. We will also be comparing range tests against the Emisar D1S, a similarly sized and powered mini thrower
Nice work. I was about to pull the trigger on the D1S a few days ago but held off as the GT mini was still in transit (now arrived). Looking at you video, glad I did. Seem pretty closely matched.
Are there different brightness modes or is it just the 1 mode only that gradually steps down? Manufacturer site and stores barely list any details about it other than the throw and brightness.
Can it last a full night of occasional spotlighting use?
This light uses the NarsilM UI which you can find details about here
The default setting is called ramping mode where it starts off low but gradually brightens if you hold the button down. You can change it to a mode that has set levels if you prefer.
As for how much use you’ll get it will depend very much on how often you use turbo mode, but turbo is really only used to impress your friends. With careful use, making sure you use just as much output as you need, it should easily last several nights.
